Appraisal of CaO derived from waste fermented-unfermented kola nut pod for fatty acid methylester (FAME) synthesis from Butyrospermum parkii (Shea butter) oil
Fatty acid methylester (FAME) synthesis from Butyrospermum parkii (Shea butter) oil using a CaO derived catalyst derived from waste kola nut pod as a heterogeneous catalyst was examined in this study. Due to the high free fatty acid of the oil, the oil was first esterified with acidic catalyst befor...
